Binance

1. Log in to your Binance account.

2. Go to the API Management section:
https://www.binance.com/en/my/settings/api-management
(Or use https://www.binance.com/en/my/sub-account/api-management if you're creating a key for a sub-account.)

3. Click “Create API”, choose type “System generated”, and enter a name (e.g., MT).

4. Complete email and 2FA verification.

5. Set permissions:

  • Spot & Margin Trading — yes
  • Futures — yes
  • Internal Transfers — yes
  • Withdrawals — no

6. Enable IP restriction and enter your static external IP address.

⚠️ If you leave IP restriction disabled or use a dynamic IP, Binance may automatically disable the key if trading permissions are enabled.

7. Save the API key and Secret — they are shown only once.

https://www.bybit.com/app/user/api-management

3. Click “Create New Key”, then choose “System-generated API key”.

4. Configure:

  • Type: API Transaction

  • IP Restriction: Only IPs with permissions granted
  • Add your external IP

5. Confirm with Google Authenticator (2FA).

6. Save the API key and Secret — visible once only.

ℹ️ Bybit requires IP whitelisting in secure mode (Only IPs with permissions granted).
Use a static IP to avoid loss of access.
